So why actually does Spider-man become a superhero? There's no lecture given by uncle Ben or anything.

So why actually does Spider-man become a superhero? There's no lecture given by uncle Ben or anything. He is mostly trying to make money after his uncle's death, but then suddenly by issue 2 he has become a superhero preventing crime as implied by Vulture.
Also is this comic worth reading after the reboot? That's when it loses the SOVL right?

    You'll know when you get to "that" point to stop. You're free to continue on from there, but I know that I wish I hadn't.

    Sound like you need to re-read #1, OP.
    First off, they bring up how Aunt May is struggling to pay the bills and Peter’s trying to help her. He doesn’t have his photographer job yet, and they have no real income. He actively blames Jameson for branding Spidey a menace so he can’t make money as Spidey.
    Then John Jameson almost dies in the space pod, and it’s on TV. Despite Jonah ruining his chance at supporting May, Peter not only rushes to find the control room, but breaks into a military facility and officially become wanted just to save the someone of someone making life hard for him.

    That’s the whole point. Despite trying to make a buck and being a recluse, Peter is about ultimately doing the right thing because that’s who he is. Ben’s death taught him a hard lesson, but it didn’t magically create his morals, he was a kid that made a selfish choice and got punished for it.

    ASM 50 explores Peter trying to re-evaluate his heroics. He gets so caught up in the rush that he worries that he’s doing it for the wrong reasons, only to return with a bigger resolve.

        That isn't his main reason, he was thinking that as a side bonus to the action. If it were his main reason he would've said so way earlier.

        You’re really stupid if you think that’s why he did it specifically. Like, you can’t comprehend basic concepts.

      honestly Amazing Spider-Man #1 is kind of a shit issue, particularly when compared to how near perfect Amazing Fantasy #15 is, though it's a brief hiccup since AMS #2 is back to being really good and #3 is downright classic

      Yes, Peter would’ve become a hero anyway had Ben lived instead. Armored Spidey from the cartoon shows exactly that.

    He graduated into "super adventuring" because he could make money off it through JJ and we know from issue 1 he doesn't have the heart to actually commit crimes.

    The turning point, to me, is Peter realizing he needs to go rescue Flash from Doom. Three issues away.

          The page you posted happens after the OP. He's already a superhero before he gets money from Jameson. Fricking dumb Black person have a nice day.

            Because he saw through the news Spider-man saved an astronaut (to get JJ off his back) and stopped the Chameleon (Peter explicitly says he won't turn down a chance at profit upon hearing about it). Go back to reading frickface.

              That’s not why he did it, that’s an outright lie. He did it because he was the only one that could do it. Jonah getting off his back was a bonus, not his goal. Read again.

      The Dr. Octopus issue is literally about Peter being defeated and humiliated, then having to go back and fight Ock again despite being beaten and scared.

      Because we aren’t crybabies like you who cry about revolves yet can’t into context.

    So is there a contingency of you or is it just one weird guy trying to push the idea that Peter Parker is just a naturally shitty person and all heroics should've remained incidental?

      I think there's a few. It's a view I see usually pushed by the people with the most worst takes on Spider-Man

    Do anons have that level of a disconnect with human emotions that they don’t understand that someone can be motivated to do the right thing AND still hope to get something out of it because they have personal problems to handle? Why is that such a foreign concept on Cinemaphile?

      Except he literally ruins his life by constantly being Spider-man. It just doesn't make sense without some serious motivation especially considering he used to be an incel who hates everyone except his aunt and uncle (he says that). If he did good things, but also put himself before others, that would make sense since that's normal human behaviour. Sacrificing your relationships and livelihood for people who you have hated since childhood is not normal human behaviour.
